Sardis was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lydia, one of the important cities of the Persian Empire, the seat of a proconsul under the Roman Empire, and the metropolis of the province Lydia in later Roman and Byzantine times.
Following the invasions of the Seljuk Turks, the city entered a slow decline until it was captured and probably destroyed by the Turco-Mongol warlord Timur in 1402.
